"Wait, then why in the world waste dev resources, time, $ etc. on a game that will sell less than the Gamecube flop? If they don't think it will sell hardware?"
The Legend of Zelda : The Wind Waker HD has potential to sell some WII U at least as Pikmin 3 had. How many hardware F-Zero, Sin and Punishment, Golden Sun, Fire Emblem or Pilotwings games have moved ?
" GTA3 moved PS2's, Mk:DD didn't move Gamecubes. "
Mario Kart Double Dash moved less Nintendo Game Cube then Gran Theft Auto San Andreas moved Playstation 2, but it moved an important number.
Universally accessible games attracts generals public on a console, but in order to ensure long run interest games with a more confidential audience are needed, in particular with veteran gamers. In WII U case, the critical mass of game making it possible to sell correctly is not reached right now but will probably be by the end of this year. We should also be noted that people are watching more closely their expenses than they did six or seven years ago and that a beginner would prefer buy a Wii bundle for less than 150€/$.
